What To Write?

-What would be the best topic to start a Blog? It necessarily should have a possibility of making some money... also what technology should one use to start a Blog ?

- Best Answer is “Any thing that you feel you are good in”.
- Anything, even if you are not good in. For example the first Blog that I write was of travel, and I hardly traveled anywhere!!!!. Your written stuff be interesting enough to make the visitor to stay for a while, for few min at least, than you did your job superbly.

- You have two choices, either you can swim with the flow or you can swim against the flow. You can write anything about a general topic or you have the choice to think out of the box and write something about which is not usual and readily available everywhere.

Every coin has two facet, Writing on a general topic is not one of the most difficult task, You can write anything on the general topic but don’t forget that there are thousands and thousands of quality sites and Blogs, available for the same. So no matter how good a writer and Blog designer you are, you can’t compete with these alligators, a new Blogger will always be a small fish, at least for the starting phases.


PRINCIPLES OF CHOSSING TOPICS:-

I hope You will me follow me here-

Measure the Topic Popularity:-
It’s a thumb rule that one should always choose the narrowest of the topic if one wants to get the search engines pointed towards your Blog, but at the same time don’t choose such topic for which you are the only reader ; while deciding the topic, the topic should be such that it meets the demand of information.

Topic Competition and Narrow Niches:-

Another way to increase your profit is to write on the topic for which only very few quality information are available. If you think there are no such topics then you are wrong. “It’s better to be a big fish in small pound rather than a small fish in big pound”.



Availability of Revenue Streams:-

Ok so you’ve found a topic people search for and you don’t have much competition - but you’ll never turn a profit on it if you don’t find an income stream for it. Anyone who has played with contextual advertising programs like Adsense knows that some topics pay higher amounts for a click on an advertisement than others. As a result two Blogs with the same levels of traffic with the same rate of clicking through (CTR) on ads can pay significantly different amounts of money.


Availability of content:-

Before starting Blog on new topic always remember to have a little bit of research, so that you know if you are able to sustain in the long run and would be able to paste quality of content in near future???

The main reason of killing of many bolgs is that the writer runs out of the information. I am sure you don’t want to be one of them.


Self evaluation:-

Before starting a Blog don’t forget to measure yourself in contrast with the topic and content. If the chosen topic is the one with which will motivate you always to write all the time? If this is the case then you have chosen the right topic and you can go ahead.
